721 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Ennnmcn R. J HN- aoir'fa, citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of Merion, in the cfiunty of Montmoty and Stateof Pennsylvania, and

can C. ENGLIBH, a citizen of the United .States, and a. resident ofCamden, in the count of Camden and State of New Jersey, have inventedcertain new and useful Imrovements in Talking-Machines, whereof theiollowin is a specification, reference bein bad to te accompanyidrawings.

is invention particular y relates to the sound conveyor comprising aswinging arm and the parts operatively connected therewith.

i The princi al objects of this invention are, to provie a soundconveying arm cooperative with a sound record disk, to direct the pointof a stylus needle in a rectilinear path, radial with respect to theaxis of the sound record disk, and operative to maintain the verticalplane of the stylus needle at an invariable angle to a radial plane, andtangent to the respective convolutions of the iral groove of the recorddisk, to reduce t 10 wear upon the walls of the record groove, incidentto the usual turning action of the needle relative to said walls; toprovide a sound conveyor comprising relatively movable sections andhaving means to prevent leakage at the joints. between said sections;and to provide means to reduce the height I of the operative mechanism.

452 I trunmons supporting said tapered connecting arm with said movableconduit; a link, connecting said tapered arm with said conduit elbow,opera ive to maintain said arm in a substantially horizontal plane; amotor operative to rotate a record disk in co6perative relation with astylus needle carried by said sound reproducer; a recess in said Theform of this invention, hereinafter stationary conduit arranged toreceive said motor, to reduce the height of the operative mechanism andthe casing inclosmg the same; and balancing mechanism operative tocounterbalance the weight of the movable parts of said soundconve or.

This invention further includes all of the various novel features ofconstruction. and arrangement hereinafter more definitely specified.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a central verticallongitudinal sectional view of a talkinc machine constructed inaccordance with this invention, showing the inclosed mechanism inelevation, for convenience of illustration; Fig. 2 is a transversevertical sectional view of said machine taken on the line 22 in Fig. 1;Fig. 3 is plan view of the stationary part of the sound conveyor and itsamplifier; Fig. 4 is a fragmentary vertical longitudinal sectional viewoi the conduit elbow and the movable conduit. or swinging arm carried.

in full lines, and the opposite extreme positions in dot and dash lines.

In said figures, the talking machine casing comprises the bottom board7, the top board 8, the end walls 9 and 10, the side walls 12, and thecover 14: hin

provided with an aperture 16 arranged to be closed by the doors 17,which are provided gedly secured at 15 to said end wall 9. The end wall10 is with hinges 18 and a knob'l9 for their convenient manipulation, toVary the volume of sound emitted by the sound amplifier, to behereinafter described.

he motor mechanism, comprising. the base plate 20, spring barrel 22,worm-gear 23 and worm 24:, is carried by the frame 26, which has aflange 27 at its perimeter, supported upon the ledge 28 surrounding'theaperture 29 in the top board 8, so that, as

may be readily seen, the motor mechanism is free to be removed I'rom'thecasing for ad'ustment or repairs. The worm 24 pro vi es a rotary stud3'0, projecting above the plate 20 and carrying t e turn-table 32, ar-

ranged to support a sound record disk 33,} and to rotate said disk inthe chamber 34, which is formed by the cover 1a. The sound conveyorcomprises a mounting 35 for the sound gep'roducer 36, a tapered arm 37,a

4n: :;1Tl1e movableconduit or swinging arm 38 .provided with the curvedflange 49, which 3 t-ially the full volume of, sound thrdughtheconduitBS will be received by movable conduit 38, a conduit elbow.39, a

stationary conduit 40, and a sound ainpli-' The; 'reproducer mounting 35is. arranged to turn on a horizontal axis in the barrel atthe outer freeend of the tapered arm 37, and said tapered arm is provided with asubstantially spherical flange 46, arranged to snugly fit the orifice 47in the end ofthe movable conduit 38, and said spherical flange is-.operative to seal the joint thus formed in any position whichsaidtapered arm may occupy relative to the conduit 38, when .os-' cil-la'tedupon thetrunnious 48, which serve.

to support said tapered arm 37.

conforms tothe cylirdriform curved flange 50 of the conduit elbow 39,which, as best shown in 4, has the aperture 51 ins-aid. flange {50,which is: embraced by: the flange 49, in anypositioni which the swingingarm 38"may occupy, relative to the elbow 39, when oscillated upon thetrunnions53, and byzreason of the closelit between the-flanges4952111d'50, the escape'of soundpassing from theconduit 38'to the elbow3.) is prevented. 1:. Asshown'in Fig. 4, the aperturebiin the flange49is materially smaller than the apert-ure 51 in =the-fiange' 50,whereby substan- )assing the elbow 39 and directed thereby, through thesound conduit 0. The movable sound conduit 38 provided withthedependingarms 55 having bearings 56 supported for oscillation upon the trunnionsfibwhicn tend laterally} from the elbow 39, each of;

a said arms 55'vhaving an extension 57, which era llytherefrom andarranged to. carry the is provided witha stud 58 projectinglateounterweights (30, tilland .62, operative to balance the. movableportionaof the conveyer compr-isin-gt he Swinging arm 38, taperedconnecting arm 37 andniountingfifi. The

nfiovable conduit 38 is also provided with a stud (35 arranged to support .,,the weight- 66,

. which is arranged to assist the weights (50,

61 and 62 in balancing and whichis adjust able onsaid stud 65 andsecured in any ada; jnistedposition by the set'screw f he movln orderthat the oscillation of 1 ablerconduit or swinging ar1n-3.8 '1i-pon itstrui'in onsbd may maintain the-tapered arm 37-in ahi-irizcntaljposition, a 'supp'orting link' --is provided, having ayoke/I1 pivotally' connected by trunnions TQWithVthe tapered connectingarm 3'}, and a yoke .13 Jpivotally connected by t-runnions 7 with theelbow 39. It may be observed that the movement of the swinging arm 38upon its trunnions 56 effects a movement of the point of the stylusneedle 7 5 in a rectilinear'path, radially with.

respect to the axis of the record disk 33 with which said needlecoiiperat'es to reproduce her 4-1 diverge in ogee curves.

the vibrations recordedin the grooves thereof, and which grooves effect'tl1e movement of the needle across. the face of said record disk. Theelbow 39 is providedwith the supporting bracket 80, which is secured to1 the supporting block 81 by suitable bolts 82,

and has the flange 83, which is secured to theflange 8-1 of thestationary sound conduit. 4:0 by the bolts 85.

As economy ofspace is an essential fac v tor in machines of the classdescribed, the stationary sound conduit 40 is provided with a, recess 87arranged to receive ='the spring barrel 22, and thefadjacent,recess S8arranged to receive the worm-gear 23H Said recess 8.7 is of sufficientextent, longitudinally, to receive the end of the worm 2i and itsbearing, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. A

bulged projection 90 in the bottom wall of the conduit L-O,substantially corresponding to the recesses-87 and 88,. provides amplespace for the passage of the sound waves through the conduit at theregion of the -re- Cesses 81', and 88. The sound amplifier 4:1 isconnected with the sound conduit 40 by the flanges 91 and 92 of saidconduit, and comprises'the top wall 94:, bottom wall 95, and the sidewalls 96. Said top and bottom walls diverge from the mouth of theconduit 40, and diverging walls 97,- 98 and 99 are interposed betweensaid top and bottom walls 9st and v95 in substantially equally spaced,diverging relation, as best shown in Fig. 1.

i As best shown in Fig. 3, the lateral walls 1000i" the conduit 40diverge from the elbow 89, and the side walls 96 of the sound ampli- Itmay be here noted-thatthe movement of the point 'of the stylusneedle ina plane coincident with the axis of the sound record disk, prevents sa dneedle frombeing worn by the undulations in the walls of the recordgroove to a constantly changing sharp edge, as when said needle isprogressed in the path of an arc; therefore, it is obvious that the lifeof the record is not only mat rially increased, but the slightundvoidablewcar of the walls of the record groove is uniform throughoutthe entire length of said groove.

It is not desired to limit this invention to .the precise details ofconstruction and arrangement herein set forth, as ii; is obvious thatvariousmodifications maybe made therein without departing from'theessential feature's'of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Havmg thus described our invention, we
